BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention is a hose reel. More specifically, the present invention is a kitchen sink hose reel.

Description of the Related Art

Kitchen sink hoses are a big convenience for persons utilizing a kitchen sink. These kitchen sink hoses are often loosely hanging underneath the sink and may get entangled with objects under the sink or cause other problems. Thus, there remains a need for a kitchen sink hose reel that is retractable that keeps a kitchen sink hose tightly stored and out of the way of other objects stored underneath a kitchen sink. It would be helpful if such a kitchen sink hose reel is mounted underneath the sink. It would be additionally desirable for such a kitchen sink hose reel.

The kitchen sink hose reel may be adapted to eliminate a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose hanging underneath a kitchen sink. The primary operative steps in the kitchen sink hose reel are to mount the kitchen sink hose reel underneath the kitchen sink. When in operation, the kitchen sink hose reel eliminates a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose. As a result, many of the limitations imposed by prior art structures are removed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a hose reel. More specifically, the present invention is a kitchen sink hose reel.

The kitchen sink hose reel includes a casing containing a retractable hose, the casing includes a hose inlet and a hose outlet, the retractable hose includes a first end and a second end, the first end of the retractable hose extends through the hose inlet to receive water. The kitchen sink hose reel also includes a sink nozzle sprayer connected to the retractable hose extending through the hose outlet, the sink nozzle sprayer includes an activation tab, a water outlet and a water inlet, the second end of the retractable hose extends through the hose outlet and is attached to the water inlet of the sink nozzle sprayer.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that is mounted underneath a kitchen sink to eliminate a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose hanging underneath the kitchen sink.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that prevents sprayer hose from tangling under the sink so that is it able to extend fully.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that prevents auto locking of hose at different lengths, and auto retraction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative embodiments.

Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention however the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.

The phrase “in one embodiment” is used repeatedly. The phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it may. The terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.

FIG. 1 illustrates a side perspective view of a kitchen sink hose reel 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The kitchen sink hose reel 100 may include a casing 110 and a sink nozzle sprayer 120.

The casing 110 may contain a retractable hose 112 and include a hose inlet 114 and a hose outlet 116. The retractable hose 112 may extend through the hose inlet 114 to receive water from a water line (not shown) or other suitable water source. The casing 110 may have a generally cylindrical shape 110A or other suitable shape. The sink nozzle sprayer 120 may be connected to the retractable hose 112 extending through the hose outlet 116. The sink nozzle sprayer 120 may include an activation tab 122, a water outlet 124 and a water inlet 126. The sink nozzle sprayer 120 may be adapted to direct sprayed water at a specific location and in a specific direction. The activation tab 122 may be adapted to spray water through the water outlet 124 of the sink nozzle sprayer 120 coming therethrough the retractable hose 112 and the sink nozzle sprayer 120.

FIG. 2 illustrates a transparent side perspective view of a kitchen sink hose reel 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The casing 110 may include a spring-loaded reel 116 that the retractable hose 112 is wrapped around. The retractable hose 112 may be adapted to retract from an extended position. The retractable hose 112 may include a first end (FIG. 1, 112A) and a second end (FIG. 1, 112B). The first end 112A of the retractable hose 112 may extend through the hose inlet 114 to receive water from the water line (not shown) or other suitable water source. The second end 1128 of the retractable hose 112 may extend through the hose outlet 116 and be attached to the water inlet (FIG. 1, 126) of the sink nozzle sprayer (FIG. 1, 120).

The kitchen sink hose reel 100 may be mounted underneath a kitchen sink (not shown) to eliminate a loosely hanging retractable hose 120 hanging underneath the kitchen sink.
